“…These results are comparable to those among secondary school students in Hanoi (Le et al, 2015). Findings from cross-sectional studies across Vietnam among secondary school students revealed that the prevalences of at least one type of AVE was 86% and of multiple types was 56% (Thai et al, 2020). Mother's education and the quality of family environment were associated with physical abuse.…”

“…Using data from two national Vietnamese youth surveys, Le et al (2012) reported prevalences of 'experiencing low mood' to be 34.06% and 37.34% among adolescents, both in and out of school. A more recent study by Thai et al (2020) found prevalences of depression and psychological distress among Vietnamese adolescents across different areas in Vietnam to be 22.9% and 30.6%, respectively (Thai et al, 2020). All of these results illustrate that the prevalences of depression and of 'low mood' continue to be high, which creates big challenges for the healthy mental development of adolescents.…”

“…(2012) showed a doubling in prevalence of suicidal behaviors from 5.28% within less than ten years using two national population-based surveys on Vietnamese youth (2003-2004 and 2009-2010. A more recent study among Vietnamese adolescents across different areas in Vietnam determined a prevalence of suicidal thought at 10.9% (Thai et al, 2020).…”

“…Additionally, more females participated in our study than males and thus might lead to potential biases. Although gender differences in particiation in mental health studies have been commonly reported in Vietnam ( Thai, Vu & Bui, 2020 ; Thai et al, 2020 ; Thai et al, 2021 ), the reasons for this phenomenon and the magnitude of its effect on mental health and related factors warrant further investigations.…”

Background Cyberbullying has become an alarming social issue, but little is known about its prevalence and consequences in many countries. This study investigated the prevalence of cyber-victimization and its association with depression among students in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in 1,492 students from eight secondary schools and high schools in four urban and suburban areas. Multi-stage cluster sampling approach was used to recruit participants. Students participated in this study on a voluntary basis and completed a self-report questionnaire that included validated scales to measure their experience of cyber-bullying (Cyber Bullying Scale) and symptoms of depression (Center for Epidemiologic Studies–Depression Scale). Weighted logistic regression analysis was used to adjust for the cluster effect and sampling probability. Results Almost all (92.4%) students reported using the internet everyday and nearly 40% used internet for more than four hours per day. Cyber-victimization was identified in 36.5% of students and almost 25% experienced multiple types of cyber-victimization. Nearly half of students reported symptoms of depression. After adjusting for other covariates, students who experienced cyber-victimization were found to have 1.81 times (95% CI [1.42–2.30]) higher in odds of having symptoms of depression. Conclusions Cyber victimization and depression are both common in Vietnamese adolescents. Those who experienced cyber bullying have a higher likelihood of having symptoms of depression. These findings indicate an urgent need for interventions and policies targeting this emerging type of bullying in Vietnam and similar settings due to its potential harmful effects on adolescents’ health.
